My life is about to turn upside down.

Haven't looked at this site for ages as hardly ride these days. This caught my attention. We have care of my wife's 6 yr old step grand-daughter ( as Mum is back in Psych care). She is thriving when with us but regresses with mother. Never expected this but thrilled to provide a child with an opportunity for a stable environment. Very bright kid so huge potential.

Just found this thread, well done Oakies, the girl will go far with you two leading her.

Recently we had a 15 year old niece (Aged 15, acted like 10 but thought she was 19) stay with us ("Just for 4 to 6 weeks" we were told - which became most of a year) because nobody (parents) could keep her in line, we knocked her into line with tough-love stuff but as soon as she went back to her parent the wheels fell of again

It sounds like your girl is direct opposite
